Chapter 25: with translation of chapter title

~8 min read 1,559 words

Su Mo saw that the sneaking glance was hopeless, so she took the two dragon cubs out for a stroll.

The dragon cubs have been raised white and chubby lately, and their stamina has greatly increased.

Energetically, they carried Su Mo flying a circle.

Su Mo grabbed Dong Dong's little horn, raised her head to admire the starry sky.

The starry sky in the Beast World, stars scattered like embroidery, like a flowing ocean, dazzlingly beautiful.

She lowered her head and said to Dong Dong: "If you're tired, just put me down."

"I'm not tired." Dong Dong said with a giggle: "There's also Nan Nan~ we can take turns carrying Sister Mo~"

Su Mo: "It would be great if we could go a bit higher."

Nan Nan narrowed his eyes and explained: "We two are both young dragons, our flight altitude is limited, but the Minor General can fly very high! He has taken us to very high mountains, which are spectacular!"

"When he wakes up, we can let him carry Sister Mo to have a look."

"Wow~" Su Mo just thinking about it feels exciting.

In her previous life, she only worried about being a beast of burden, actually never really appreciated the world.

Now that she has come to the Beast World, she should properly appreciate its natural scenery.

Seeing that Dong Dong was about to carry her out of the tribe's territory, Su Mo hurriedly stopped him, telling him to turn around and prepare to return.

The Beast World still has many dangers; within this tribe it's relatively safe, but once you go out it's hard to say.

On the way back, Nan Nan carried Su Mo, taking a different route.

When they were about to reach the village, Su Mo had him put her down, and the three of them walked home on foot.

They hadn't walked a few steps when they heard from the nearby Xiao Shulin the sounds of kitten cries.

The cries were somewhat miserable, sounding like they were injured.

Su Mo frowned, not really wanting to meddle.

But the two dragon cubs had already walked over and picked up that cat.

"Sister Mo, this little beast is badly injured~"

Su Mo glanced at it; it was a pure white kitten with a pair of sapphire blue eyes, very beautiful.

Its hind leg looked like it had been caught in a Beastmen hunting trap; a large chunk of flesh was missing, exposing bloody, slender leg bones.

"Meow~"

It shrank, lying in Nan Nan's arms, crying out in fear.

Although it indeed looked miserable, Su Mo still hesitated a bit; she remembered that in the original story, the female lead had a cat Beastman beside her, whose methods were extremely ruthless.

If speaking of Mo Xiao and the others, they were forced to retaliate in order to defend their lives.

That cat Beastman, however, is purely evil.

When Su Mo read the book, she felt that cat Beastman was a psychological pervert.

However, this poor little thing before her eyes likely does not have such ability to stir up storms.

Otherwise it wouldn't have been so foolish as to fall into the Beastmen's trap.

But Su Mo still didn't want to bring it back; otherwise, leave some medicine for it, and whether it lives or not is up to its own fate.

Nan Nan saw Su Mo not speaking, and softly pleaded: "Sister Mo, let's take him back to treat him?"

Su Mo rubbed Nan Nan's head: "Leave some medicine for it; if you're worried, come check on it tomorrow."

"But I'm afraid it won't make it through tonight."

Dong Dong stared at the injured kitten, dazed: "It seems to be that kind of Beastman who can't shapeshift; it has a physical defect, limited ability, so it can only be a little cat~ how pitiful."

Su Mo frowned: "Can you tell?"

"Yeah, I learned that in the Dragon Clan."

She nodded; then it's just like the cats from her previous world.

Su Mo took some medicine from her space.

Nan Nan reluctantly put it down, then found some things and built a nest for it.

She treated the kitten, then left it some medicine, and called the two dragon cubs to head back.

They hadn't walked a few steps when they heard again from behind the kitten's miserable cries.

Nan Nan turned around and saw the kitten had fainted in the nest.

He hurried over, picked it up and brought it to Su Mo to see.

"Sister Mo, will it die?"

Su Mo frowned; her expertise is treating humans or Beastmen, but for a pure animal like this, she really isn't capable.

"It doesn't seem to be a faint caused by infection."

"Could it be that human medicine doesn't work on it?"

"Or maybe she didn't control the dosage properly just now?"

"Good intentions leading to bad outcomes—this could be disastrous."

Seeing the worried looks of Nan Nan and Dong Dong, she sighed: "Let's take it back first."

Anyway, it can't shapeshift, so it's just a pure feline animal.

When Su Mo and the two dragon cubs carried the injured kitten home, Yue Ying and the others had already been free for a while.

They had finished bathing Long Yan and came out, but didn't see Su Mo, and worried for a while.

After thinking, the two dragon cubs weren't home either; they were probably out playing with the Wife Master.

"Where did they go, for half a day?"

Yue Ying shook his fan, walked over, and at a glance saw the kitten in Nan Nan's arms.

Immediately he furrowed his brow in alertness: "Where did this thing come from?"

"Picked up on the road, it was injured."

Yue Ying reached out and grabbed the cat, its leg indeed injured; it looks like the Wife Master has already treated it.

He quietly probed the cat's bone; it should be an immature juvenile.

Moreover, it seems incapable of assuming human form.

Yue Ying's guard was halved.

He casually tossed the cat into Fei Yan's arms, deliberately saying, "Look, can it still be healed with injuries like this?"

Fei Yan understood, also secretly feeling the cat's bone.

Confirmed it was a small beast unable to assume human form.

Thus he said, "Even if healed, it'll likely be a useless cat."

Su Mo saw they were about to toss the cat back and forth, hurriedly saying, "Give it to me."

It was already injured; if it fell and died again, how tragic……

Mo Xiao felt he no longer needed to confirm; Fei Yan's rank is not much lower than his, so this appraisal ability naturally exists.

Su Mo placed the little cat on a nearby table.

She reopened the wrapped gauze, disinfected it again, and cleared away the nearby rotting flesh.

After careful observation, she found what looked like a crack on the fine bone.

She then took out Bone-setting Powder from her space.

Then she rewrapped its bandages and fed it some medicine.

When Su Mo finished, Nan Nan and Dong Dong had also just finished building its cat nest.

Su Mo placed it inside, then went to take a bath.

After she left, Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and Yue Ying came over to take another look.

White cats are the least favored breed among cats, and this one is also a weak cat incapable of assuming human form.

Its own kind will only reject it more.

Although it appears not aggressive, they still find this cat an eyesore.

Especially Mo Xiao, recalling that day when he first heard the Wife Master's inner voice, she said he was not as cute as the neighbor's kitten.

Really, I don't know where the cuteness lies in this fluffy thing!!

The three came to Fei Yan's room; Yue Ying irritably fanned himself, saying, "Once that cat is healed, we'll toss it out."

The Wife Master's gaze is always drawn to these things; when will it ever fall on him? It's truly worrisome.

After Su Mo finished bathing and came out, the courtyard was empty; the little cat lay quietly in the nest prepared by Nan Nan and them.

She reached out and stroked the cat's ears: "Sleep, I'm going to sleep too."

Then she turned and went to her own room.

Su Mo didn't notice at all; just as she turned, the white cat lying still in the nest suddenly opened its azure eyes.

The cat's nose involuntarily sniffed.

Su Mo lay on the bed, threw the remaining half of the Fake Death Medicine into the Laboratory, meanwhile tidying up her space, and earned 200 points.

She secretly exchanged a pack of snail rice noodle soup and two sausages, stashing them under her pillow, then slept contentedly.

That night.

She slept in a daze, only feeling something fluffy sweep across her face.

The white cat on the bed leapt lightly, then carefully examined the sleeping person, its eyes showing a hint of contempt.

As if saying: "What a foolish female."

When Yue Ying came out to relieve himself, he also took a glance at that cat.

The cat nest was empty.

He immediately felt wary in his heart; that small beast suffered such severe injury, does it still have the energy to run about?

No, it couldn't have used some kind of illusion to slip through, could it?!
